Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ فَكَانَ قَائِلُهُمْ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَرَطُنَا وَنَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَنَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ الْعَافِيَةَ.
English Translation
Mu'awiyah ibn Hisham and Abu Ahmad told us, both saying: Sufyan told us, from Alqamah ibn Marthad, from Sulayman ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to teach them what to say when they went out to the graves. One of them would say: Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of these abodes, among the believers and Muslims. Mu'awiyah said in his version: We shall, if Allah wills, join you; you have gone ahead of us and we shall follow you, and we ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.
